In Super Smash Bros. 4
DK Barrels appear in SSB4 in two main roles.
As a trophy
The DK Barrel trophy appears in both versions.
NTSC: Little known fact: the "DK" on a DK Barrel stands for "Donkey Kong"... What? You mean you already knew that? In that case, you must also know that hopeful feeling you get upon seeing one of these in a really tough stage. Break one to release a helpful partner!
PAL: Did you know that the "DK" on a DK Barrel stands for "Donkey Kong"?... You did? Well then, maybe you also know what a beautiful and hopeful feeling it is to see one of these when you're toughing it out alone, all sad and forlorn. Break it and a partner will show up to lift you out of you doldrums and help you on your way.

In Smash Tour
In Smash Tour, DK Barrel is a red item. A player can use a DK Barrel at the beginning of a battle to have another one of their acquired characters join them in the battle as a CPU ally.
Origin
DK Barrels appear in every game of the Donkey Kong Country series. In the first DKC game, breaking a DK Barrel would allow Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong to re-gain the other Kong as a partner. Later games would have other Kongs that could be retrieved from DK Barrels to serve as partners, including Dixie Kong, Kiddy Kong, and Cranky Kong.
